What kind of Valentine’s Date you have
often depends on what he drives
Personality Traits Behind Cars
by Madelyn Miller, the TravelLady
Your heart flutters just thinking about the big date coming up on
Valentine’s Day. Wouldn’t you like to peer into a crystal ball and see
what kind of evening to expect – based on the type of car your date drives, of
course.
Popular dating coach Deanna Lorraine says women should always go into a date
with an open mind, but there are certain ways to spot trends ahead of time about
the guy she’ll be going out with. "You can definitely speculate about what kind
of a date you're in for depending on the kind of car the man drives," Ms.
Lorraine says. "Cars tend to be an expression of men's personality traits and
values, and they can be very telling!"
So what kind of date can you expect? Ms. Lorraine created a personality
profile of the guy behind the wheel of five cars to help you know what kind of
date to expect:
Cadillac Escalade: Don’t be fooled into thinking you can’t find luxury
in a domestic brand. This vehicle is known for its big, powerful and bold
performance. The Escalade owner is typically a classy, successful and slightly
cocky guy who's into luxury and the finer things in life and enjoys showing off
his success and big paycheck in BIG ways. If you've got a date with this one,
expect a grandiose Valentine’s date with a ridiculous display of roses, a very
upscale restaurant with a seductive ambiance and lavish three-course meal, and
champagne/desserts flowing. And after that, I wouldn't be surprised if he has a
five-star hotel room waiting for you to end the evening in. Hopefully this one
won't end with any golf clubs thrown!
Corvette: An American icon for years, the Corvette still captivates
the hearts of millions of men looking for refined style and grace with a car
that still believes it can compete. Fast-moving and Bold, Bad-Boy, Dangerous,
Seductive: Strap on your seatbelt, for this bold Bad Boy enjoys fast and racy
activities and may take you on a wild ride of a date! He'll probably do
something fun and exciting that gives you both a good rush, like taking you on a
rollercoaster, race-car tracks or an activity like sky-diving. For dinner he'll
likely take you to a swanky rooftop restaurant overlooking the city where you
both can be seen, since he enjoys the attention; and watch out, this fast-moving
man may also try to pull his slick and sexy moves on you...which could be a good
or bad thing, depending on the girl and her goal for the evening! Enjoy the
ride.
Infiniti G-35: This is a luxury and performance car that includes
impressive technology with some style. Since this guy is most likely a confident
power-player who's got style and sophisticated taste, he's going to want to
impress you so he'll be looking sharp and smelling good when he arrives in his
freshly waxed and gleaming Infiniti G-35. Your Valentine's date will consist of
dinner at a chic, upscale European place you've probably never heard of followed
by a night out at an ultra-exclusive nightclub with your own VIP section and
bottle service flowing all night, capped off with a drive around the city and
some kissing.
Ford Focus: This vehicle provides optimum fuel efficiency and offers
quality performance on a budget with its “no frills” approach. Well don't get
your hopes up with a fancy, lavish date with this guy, ladies, but it will be
the perfect date for the right girl. This conservative fellow is most likely
simple and cost-conscious, possibly even borderline frugal, although a sensitive
romantic at heart. Your date will probably pick you up wearing a comfortable
shirt and jeans and consist of a nice green picnic at a park at sunset with his
dogs present, or an evening at his home while he cooks for you. Since this guy
probably isn't caught up in all the Valentine's hype, expect a low-frills,
modest evening but with lots of heart-felt quality time; and since this guy is
more on the sweet and quieter side, you may have to be the one to make the
romantic "moves" if you're wanting some Valentine's action.
Chevy Silverado: One of the world’s most reliable brands and one of
the most dependable trucks, the Silverado defines strength in a vehicle. Since
the Chevy man is going to be more rugged and hard, he's probably not going to be
a huge sap for Valentines Day anyhow—so don’t expect a cliché of chocolates and
roses on the date. This guy’s more interested in spending time with you then
setting up a lavish date, so your date will probably consist of an outdoors
overnighter away from the city, hanging out in the back of his pickup, drinking
beer and eating finger foods while a Drive-in movie and cozying up underneath
the stars.
